I've dug up some old threads saying to add <sharable /> to charsheet.xml in order to make player character sheets available to each player. However, these threads are for FG I.

charsheet.xml does not look like it used to, and I'm uncertain where to place this tag (if it still works). After sifting through dozens of threads, I haven't seen anything regarding this for FG II. Any pointers? Ever since I started messing with rulesets and modules....I can't stop. :)

I have a similar question I think though with a slightly different twist. I'm building an adventure module for other DMs to use, can I imbed pre-gens into the module that the DM can make available to players?

The pre-gens are simple. The DM just creates the characters on his machine and clears the owner from them. When the players login they can choose one of the pre-generated characters.

That would still be on your machine though, I think Sloejack wants to distribute the module to other DMs to run with the pre-Gens included.

Its doable with a custom ruleset and a button or something that copies the PC information to a new databasenode.

Yeah the conclusion that I came to after talking with Joshuha yesterday was as he mentioned. This would seem to me to be one of those nifty opportunities where it would be nice to have loadable ruleset bits where I could load a ruleset module that just handled exporting pre-gen data in the database to local charactersheets. Oh well, something else for the wishlist, "loadable ruleset modules"

*rehi-jacks thread*

So...sharing those character sheets...anyone know where (if it's still possible) to put the sharable tag in FG II?

On the D20 charsheet :

Go to CHARSHEET_TOPLEVEL.XML

And in the Windowclass "charsheet"
add <sharable /> just before <sheetdata>
